70-Years Later, WWII Veteran Remembers D-Day

AVENTURA (CBSMiami) – On the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, a local World War Two veteran recalled his experiences serving in the army.

Abe Stein, 93, says he’ll never forget the war. He was working in a medical chapter of the U.S. Army.

He told CBS4’s Maggie Newland he remembers preparing for D-Day.

“The day before we went down to South Hampton to set up our supplies for D-Day and worked around the clock without even sleeping,” Stein said, adding, “We knew that medicine would have to be ready – worked all the way around the clock. We heard the next day what happened and the day after we left.

The medics were warned many lives would be lost and many soldiers would be hurt.
